Description: | A complete copper alloy unidentified object of post-medieval date. The object is comprised of two semi-circular plates joined by three integral rectangular strips acting as a hinge-type mechanism. The strips are folded so that the plates are back-to-back though with a small gap between. Each plate is decorated with three rows of raised pellets on their exterior surfaces.The metal has a dark brown patina and is worn. The object is 20.5mm long, 17.9mm wide, 5.1mm thick and weighs 3.8g.The exact function of this object has not yet been determined though it may have served as a hinge for a larger composite object.
